Top Biotech Stocks To Watch After Big News In October

Biotech stocks have historically been great for investors and over the years, many of the stocks from this sector have managed to generate substantial returns for investors. Hence, it remains one of the most closely followed sectors in the market.

However, past performance is no guarantee of future returns and that is why it is important to keep track of the market in order to identify the stocks to invest in. An investor who keeps a keen eye on the market can always identify a group of stocks to invest in. Here is a look at three biotech stocks that have attracted attention after recent announcements.

GT Biopharma (GTBP)

GT Biopharma (GTBP) is an immuno-oncology company focused on innovative treatments for cancer, based on its patent-pending TriKE™ technology. What has attracted attention lately has been a recent study at the University of Minnesota. The study has confirmed that its HIV-TriKE™ drug platform has successfully killed patient HIV infected cells.

Following this, last week GT Biopharma announced additional findings. This time it was regarding the solid tumor targeting TriKE™ which demonstrated the ability to kill non-small cell lung cancer tumor cells.

Mr. Anthony Cataldo, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GT Biopharma commented “we are excited about the progress Dr. Miller and his colleagues are making developing a TriKE^™ which targets solid tumors.”  Mr. Cataldo further stated “we believe the NSCLC TriKE™ has the potential to offer lung cancer patients with a treatment option that achieves targeted killing of metastatic lung cancer cells in all locations within the body, and hopefully will become part of a scalable and curative therapeutic strategy for lung cancer patients.”

These were obviously key developments for the company and the addressable market size may support further research. According to an article on Fortune Business Insights the HIV/AIDS drug market was valued at  US$ 25.3 billion in 2018 and according to the website is projected to reach US$ 40.6 billion by the end of 2026 based on a CAGR of 6.1%, between 2019-2026.
